Uses |
silk powder is recommended primarily for use in powder makeups to improve humectancy, oil absorption, and anti-cracking properties. However, a large amount of silk powder may be needed to obtain the desired results. Silk powder is a micronized powder of natural silk protein and is not compatible with all inorganic pigments used in color cosmetics. It is obtained from the secretion of the silkworm. Silk powder may cause allergic skin reactions. The potential of maize silk powder (MS) as a natural, widely available and low-cost agricultural waste in order to adsorb methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution has been studied. |
This paper demonstrates for the first time the use of silk powder in 3D printing to create powder based 3D construct.
Although the silk powder agglomerates decreased the mechanical properties, as silk powder fractions increased, the ternary blend with 10 wt % silk powder still displayed high impact strength of 108 J/m and tensile modulus of 1.2 GPa.
Chemical modification or post-conjugation of bioactive ligands expand the applicability of silk proteins; however, the processes are elaborate and costly. In this study, we used transgenic silkworm technology to develop single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-conjugated silk fibroin.
